DISA Capabilities
Two purpose-built capabilities that together deliver rapid, authorized DevSecOps infrastructure for the Department of Defense — from composable stack to operationalized mission environment.
ClearSpring
Secure, Composable DevSecOps Stack
A hardened, opinionated-by-default DevSecOps stack purpose-built for DoWIN-aligned environments. ClearSpring eliminates the integration burden that slows DoW program offices — delivering a pre-validated pipeline from infrastructure to delivery, with DISA security controls baked in at every layer.
Capability Factory
ClearSpring, Operationalized for DCDC-Class Missions
The DCF is PD INC's DoWIN-replica lab environment — operational since 2012. It pairs ClearSpring technology with cleared engineering staff to support capability development from concept through ATO, providing a fully managed mission environment where DoW teams can rapidly test, validate, and field capabilities without standing up infrastructure from scratch.
Built Inside the Authorization Boundary
The DCF is PD INC's DoWIN-replica lab — a production-accurate environment that has been operational since 2012. It is not a sandbox or a staging environment. It is a full replica of the DoWIN, staffed by cleared engineers, purpose-built for capability development from concept through ATO.
Every capability tested and deployed through this stack is inside the authorization boundary from day one — no provisional ATOs, no shadow IT, no workarounds. Rapid capability testing that is fully authorized is not a contradiction. It is the design intent.
How ClearSpring and the Capability Factory Work Together
ClearSpring is the stack. The Capability Factory is the operational wrapper. Together they form a complete, end-to-end capability delivery system for DoW missions.
ClearSpring Provides the Foundation
The composable, opinionated DevSecOps stack — pre-validated DISA controls, zero-trust enforcement, ATO-ready posture. The technical substrate that everything runs on.
Capability Factory Operationalizes It
Takes ClearSpring and wraps it in a fully managed mission environment. Program offices engage at the mission level — not the infrastructure level. Intake, provision, build, validate, deploy.
DoW Teams Move at Mission Speed
The result: rapid capability testing and deployment inside a fully authorized DoWIN environment. No infrastructure standup. No compliance gaps. No provisional ATOs.
What No One Else Offers
The DCF is the only authorized environment that combines automation, governance, and DoWIN-aligned access under a single stack — alongside a full suite of mission-critical technical capabilities native to the environment.
Capability testing begins in hours, not weeks — inside an environment already aligned to BCAC, AAF, JCIDS, and RMF.
RMF artifacts, SSP fragments, POA&Ms, and eMASS-ready evidence are produced as a byproduct of engineering work.
DoWIN-initiated, mutual-PKI access patterns already vetted with DISA — no routing exposure, no new authorization path. C2 from DoDNET.
Complete Assured Compliance Assessment Solution — vulnerability scanning, STIG validation, and continuous monitoring natively integrated.
End-to-end network traffic capture and analysis within the authorized boundary. Full fidelity, no gaps.
Production-accurate replica of the COMLOB F5 load balancer environment — test against real infrastructure topology, not approximations.
Identity, Credential, and Access Management automation aligned to the Cresaptown environment — eliminating manual provisioning bottlenecks.
Complete Enterprise Security Suite coverage — endpoint protection, host-based security, and audit tooling pre-configured and authorized.
Centralized, mission-wide log aggregation across all stack layers — security events, pipeline activity, and infrastructure telemetry unified.
Email traffic capture, pre-provisioned virtual desktop infrastructure, and a managed security service provider network — all inside the authorization boundary.
PD INC's proprietary automation framework for Risk Management Framework compliance and incident response — accelerating ATO timelines and reducing manual response burden.
